What's Coaching?

Coaching is a powerful professional partnership designed to bring out the best in the client.
Coaching is a unique process in which a trained professional partners with you - the client - to help you discover what you truly want and break through what may be getting in your way. It empowers you to set and achieve practical goals that keep you moving toward your ideal life. 

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching this way:
​
"Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and
​professional potential." 

How is Coaching Different than Other Services?
 Coaching is NOT:
​
  • ​Therapy -- A therapist is a licensed mental health professional who can diagnose and treat mental illness. He or she can help someone heal emotional or psychological wounds or become functional in an area in which they may be dysfunctional.
  • Advice -- An advisor tells someone what they think they should do in a particular situation or area of life.
  • Consulting -- A consultant is a subject matter expert who assesses an organization's current state and provides recommendations for optimization or change.
  • Mentoring -- A mentor is someone who already has experience in a particular area and provides guidance to someone with less experience. 
  • Friendship -- A friend is a friend. They provide and expect companionship and support through a mutually-beneficial arrangement. 

A coach will NEVER tell you what to do or give you advice. That's not coaching.

A coach is NOT the subject matter expert on your life. You are.

A coach will NEVER judge your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or actions. 

​A coach can help you discover what's true for you. A coach supports you as you take action to move your life from adequate to IDEAL.

A coach KNOWS you have all the answers (or can discover the answers that are waiting for you).

By asking the right QUESTIONS at the right time, a coach helps you connect with your own truths.

With coaching, YOU have the power. YOU are in charge.

What Can Coaching Do
​for You? 
​Through coaching, you are able to:
​
  • Take tangible steps to set and achieve your goals.
  • Break through old, disempowering patterns of thought and behavior.
  • Discover what you truly want for yourself and WHO you truly are.
  • Learn new tools and perspectives to respond constructively to life's hiccups.
  • Tap into your creativity and joy.
  • Reclaim balance and direction in your life.
  • Get results where your previous efforts may have failed.
  • Step into your power.
  • Raise your awareness and consciousness so you can live more intentionally and feel more in charge of your life.
  • Keep yourself accountable.
  • Create the life you want.

How Does Coaching Work?
Clients typically meet with their coach once a week, usually by phone or online. ​Since coaching works extremely well by phone, geography is not a factor.

(I have found that coaching my clients once a week on the phone is extremely effective. Other coaches may have other arrangements with their clients.)

During your initial sessions, you and your coach will get to know each other. The coach may offer exercises or assessments so you can gain clarity around your goals and values, identify any roadblocks in your way, and determine where you'd like to focus your coaching. 

Your coach will provide ongoing support in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space. At every stage of the coaching process, you are in charge. You set the agenda.

As you meet regularly with your coach, they'll ask you thought-provoking and sometimes challenging questions to help you discover what's true for you.

When appropriate, you will create action steps or "to do list" items that align with your goals and you'll keep yourself accountable for them.

Meaningful change takes time and consistent effort. The longer you work with your coach and build that relationship, the more success you will see for yourself. This is why coaches tend to offer packages of sessions and not single appointments.

After just a few short months, you'll be amazed at how your life has already started to change. All because YOU chose to invest in the gift of coaching.
